Summer Camps:

Here are a couple camps that I would recommend for this summer:

1. North Idaho Camp. The kids always rave about this one; sunny weather, team bonding, and a lot of competition. Get about 1/3 of a high school seasons match count in four days!

              Note Inglemoor will be going to camp #2 June 28th-July 2nd

                                        Watch the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKk34PDkvec

2. Snohomish “Session Three” Wrestling Camp

                      Close by and not too expensive. Features a focus on live matches and competition.

              Print off the flyer here:   Session Three 2012 Flyer

Dates June 25th-28th (note: there is a one day overlap with the North Idaho Camp if you are planning on doing both)

Day 1:

No great news at the start, Andrew Stocker our alternate at 285, did not get his chance in the tournament.

The five that are in the tournament had some fantastic matches. All five wrestlers won a match at state. In all the years I have been involved at Inglemoor I have never had this happen before!

Mitchell Barker ended a seniors dream and Sam Gastineau secured a pin.

With a lot of great wrestling and some pretty close matches we have two moving on to place: Gabe Seward and Josh Koukal.

Day 2:

After two tough matches each I want to congratulate Gabe and Josh on their 8th place finshes.

As a coach you are always looking for improvement. For Gabe to go from a Regional participant to a state placer is a huge leap.  Also for Josh to make it back to the dome and come away with some hardware shows a marked improvement.

These two have definitely set a bar and we look forward to hopefully a bigger and better season next year.

A lot of tough wrestling at Rogers of Puyallup High School.

With 11 Vikings going into the tournament we have five moving on to the State Tournament with one alternate.

Congratulations to Mitchell Barker (5th), Gabe Seward (3rd), Sam Gastineau (3rd), Josh Koukal (3rd), Ben Carson (3rd), and Andrew Stocker (6th).

On to the Tacoma Dome!

The Vikings had a strong showing to wrap up the district tournament. With 12 wrestlers placing and moving on to regionals Inglemoor finished 3rd in team points with 187 points. Issaquah was the tournament champions and Woodinville took 2nd.

Congratulations to Champions Gabe Seward (138) and Josh Koukal (195)
